I just fetched 500+ mails, ~480 of them spam, from one of my spamtrap accounts and piped it through spamassassin. It missed 2 spams and had no false hits! And Ive done nothing to it, it runs totally with default settings. One impressive piece of software, thats for sure. -- R To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
